Large Antique Thadobati Singing Bowl – C4 Note

Antique Thadobati Singing Bowl.   C4 (Root Chakra)
Weight 2 lb 3 1/3 oz. (1.01 kilos).   18.5 x 9 cm (approx. 7 ¼ x 3 ½ inches)

This is a large antique Thadobati Singing Bowl with a nice middle C voice that is the same whether struck with a padded mallet or played around the rim with a suede ringer.  It also has a little talking and fountain ability.

This is an older Thadobati singing bowl that dates from the 19^th century, possibly earlier.  It exhibits many of the characteristics associated with early bowls of this type including a decorative band of sun motifs (punched dots within circles) below the outer rim.  It has a grooved lip, two sets of concentric circles at its centre, and several incised lines encircling the bowl below the band of suns.

It is an attractive and well-forged bowl of generous weight at just over 1 kilo (2 ¼ lb).  It has a deep body and high-sided walls that gently curve in towards a wide flat base.  The condition of this old bowl is very nice indeed.  It is very clean, virtually free of stains blemishes, and has an attractive golden bronze colour.

A very nice example of a top quality older Thadobati bowl with a very nice sound!  A Tibetan silk brocade bowl cushion and a teak and suede ringer are included in the price.
